[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the most important thing is the quality of education at a school, not the "diversity".   I think parents need to focus on this, rather than the percentage of kids who "look" a certain way.  [/quote]

While I agree that the most important thing is the quality of education at a school, diversity is also important.  I went to a small (~400 students) middle school that was 95% white.  It was very difficult being one of the few non-white kids.  My high school was about 80% white and that was a much better experience.  I wouldn't want to send my kids to a school where they were one of a few non-white kids.

I see your viewpoint and understand how tough it was being non-white in those settings...... but as a white parent of Janney kids, I am very glad that there are at least some AA and biracial children in my kids classes. I want my kids to relate to black (and other minority) children as peers and friends. Also was happy that my child has had AA teachers to see AAs positions of authority around them.[/quote]
